Routing
If you will be using BBMD, the port, time-to-live, and IP address of the remote BBMD must be
given. The local BBMD will attempt to register with the remote BBMD whose address is given.
Disable BBMD by setting time to live to zero (do this if not familiar with BBMD - this feature is
only used in very large networks, and there should be only one BBMD enabled on any given
subnet).
If there is no other BBMD we want to register with, but we want to allow other 'foreign' devices
to register with us, enable BBMD by setting the time to live, but leave the BBMD IP address set
to 0.0.0.0. Up to 128 foreign devices may register with us, while we may register with only 1
other BBMD. Broadcast messages received from any of the other BBMD's will be resent to all
128 foreign devices registered with our BBMD.
Other devices that have registered with us as a foreign device are listed simply for diagnostics.
To clear this table and stop other devices from forwarding traffic to us, set BBMD Time To Live
to zero.
The above screen image shows how all but one device in the BBMD set would be configured
(using your own applicable IP address). The image below shows how the one device in the
middle would be configured, and also shows the list of devices currently registered.
